Touring Books
(Continued from Page 12)
about interesting places? Do you have
a copy of Oregon State Parks, a well-
illustrated booklet published by the
State Parks Department. It will guide
you to many beautiful and unusual
spots you might very likely miss w ith
out its help.
Do you have copies of the informa
tive historical brochures written by
Walter Meacham, executive secretary
of the Oregon Council, American Pio
neer Trails Association? Do you have
a book or pamphlet about Pacific coast
sea life, or wild flowers, or bird life?
Will you be merely traveling "to get
away from it all,” to be going "some
where” or will you be absorbing every
possible experience? These are only
casual suggestions. The extent of your
research will depend upon your indi
vidual interest.
If you aren’t ready to give informa
tion intelligently and generously to our
tourist-guests this summer, you’ll miss
the thrill of being the host to a hun
dred years of exciting history.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Oregon’s colorful historical past re
veals endless highlights of interest.
The Oregon territory achieved terri
torial status by Congressional action
in August, 1848, but news of the
action was not received until the fol
lowing January because of the extreme
slowness of communication. Covered
wagon trains took as much as six
months to come from the head of the
Old Oregon Trail at Independence,
Missouri, to the Willamette Valley
where Oregon’s first settlements began.
In part the trail followed U. S. High
way 30 across Oregon. Oregon’s terri
torial centennial this year emphasizes
the progress of a century. A fast air
plane can fly to Independence in less
than six hours.
A wounded bear, followed by a pio
neer hunter, in 1874, led to the discov
ery of the Oregon Caves near Grants
Pass in southern Oregon,
